Comment:

She worked at Ogilvy and is extremely creative. This might be one of her strengths, but it is also her weakness. Her idea of creativity changes with her mood, along with her grading system. Kiss her butt and do your work and you'll be fine.

Comment:

Ridiculous grader..she has absolutely no coherency to her grading system whatsoever. You'll go in and ask her for help and she'll help you, but the next day she's completely changed her mind about her own idea and hates it. Almost impossible to impress but unfortunately is one of the only teachers you can take for creative advetising. good luck.

Comment:

Found this class to be pretty ridiculous for a 200 level..especially having to find the time to travel to nyc for a photo project. she's a very tough grader but the work isnt too too demanding..she teaches a lot of the ad classes so you probably will have to take her at some point if you're an ad major.

Comment:

Marcia is a tough grader, and she can be kind of irritating at times with her comments. However, after taking her course, I have learned a lot and she really does a good job preparing you for the advertising world. Difficult teacher but worth the skills you will gain.

Comment:

Second class I've had with her, has gotten better. Seemed more pleasant and willing to help this semester. Entire class is group commercial making, better get a good group. A lot of work scheduling meetings and getting things done, but is kinda fun yet stressful. Overall, a lot of work for a B, Christ doesn't actually teach much of anything.

Comment:

Definitely not as bad as people say. she can be a bit condescending at times to students. she'll tell you if she doesn't like your work. going to class is rough when you know she's just going to tell you your work sucks for an hour, but she cancels class a lot, you will learn a lot, easy B

Comment:

I've has her for 3 semesters and she's a good teacher if you take the time to get to know her. She is very experienced and if you give her a chance she'll help you out in any way she can. People don't like to take the time out and they quickly judge her. She knows her stuff.

Comment:

Awful professor. Classes are justifiably difficult. She doesn't provide any direction or assistance. Expectations often unclear. Favors men greatly. Former ad pro, but out of touch now. Worst: she IS the entire advertising department, and that is Marist's fault.

Comment:

She was the only teacher for creative Advertising and she's awful. Instead of trying to think of what would please a target audience, she trains you to come up with ideas she'd like. One of the worst teachers at Marist, and she was my advisor!

Comment:

many people dont like her because of her criticisms of their work, but in advertising you have to learn to take criticism and use it constrictively. i learn so much from her. she has a lot of experience and knows what she is talking about

Comment:

The class is hard, and you will quickly learn whether you could survive in, or even want to survive in, a real advertising environment. She's critical, but so are ad execs and clients in the real world.

Comment:

this class is REALLY hard. she is very negative toward everything you do. she favors the kids who draw well, so if you can't sucks for you. i did learn what i needed to know, but it was a struggle. you won't get a bad grade in the class you just feel like crap.

Comment:

If you suck at advertising she will tell you. Expect her class to be one of the hardest you'll ever take, but you'll learn what you need to know. I enjoyed her but thats because I'm good at advertising.

I LOVED HER CLASS... Hard as hell. She busted everyone's **** but you came out learning a lot or at least learning that you HATE advertising.
